EVERY ONE our hobby is under attack PLEASE FOLLOW THE LINK AND COMMENT STAND UP AND BE HEARD. http://www.regulations.gov/#!submitComment;D=NOAA-NMFS-2010-0036-0469
please comment and tell them not to impose restrictions on importing ,trade farming or selling corals. Also to exempt all maricultured and aquacultured corals from any laws which protect wild corals, also point out the global economic impact that banning importation, farming etc. of corals would have.Although corals may have to be regulated as a fishery , a complete halt would have world wide economic impact. please re post we need to get the word out :facepalm:

Document doesn't exist...although....IMO some restrictions need to be put in place when it comes to collecting wild corals and sea life.....this is big big issue with many opinions probably this forum is not the best place since this is exclusively for Sps keepers and this matter affects everybody in the hobby....great subject however....but again...link doesn't work so can't comment too much on the specific regulations your are speaking about.

Sorry the link went down last night. I guess it's closed for debate.

Let's hope this thing doesn't go into effect.

This is pretty big news lately. There has been like 7 threads started on reef discussion and they have been posting this all over every forum.
